Heat reactivation (60 degrees C for 5 minutes) of the red blood cells aminolevulinic acid dehydratase activity was studied in lead treated rats (0.25 to 5.0 mg/kg b.w., i.p., for 4 weeks). Complete enzyme reactivation occurs with lead blood concentration up to about 70 mcg/dl. At higher blood lead concentrations, only a part of the enzyme can be restored by heating.

Abstract
Heat reactivation (60 degrees C for 5 minutes) of the red blood cells aminolevulinic acid dehydratase activity was studied in lead treated rats (0.25 to 5.0 mg/kg b.w., i.p., for 4 weeks). Complete enzyme reactivation occurs with lead blood concentration up to about 70 mcg/dl. At higher blood lead concentrations, only a part of the enzyme can be restored by heating. The different mechanisms of aminolevulinic acid dehydratase activity inhibition by lead are discussed.File in questo prodotto:
